Handbook of Urban Politics And Policy

It is evident that urban education has become the central focus of educators at the present time. In the U.S., for example, almost one third of all school age children attend schools in large urban school districts. It is in these urban schools where the diversity of cultures and languages is highest and where student learning is most problematic.

This book brings together a range of viewpoints on a range of the burning issues affecting urban sustainability in North America and Europe at the beginning of the 21st century. H.S. Geyer covers a wide range of the urban policy issues that determine the growth and development progress as well as the livability of cities in the Occident.
